It's good. Trent works well with contrasting singers like he does with Mariqueen and the backup singers during that one tour.

Thanks for the Health recs I'll get on em I can't stop listening to this song, jeez. 90s level Trent is A+++ on its own but the whole thing here just comes together drat near perfectly. Chills literally every time at the transition immediately after the first chorus. Also the "are you alone" parts. I am so in love oh my god

Late to the HEALTH chat but they're one of the best bands I've ever seen live. It was just after Jupiter left and it was face rippingly fantastic. Die Slow is an all time classic.

That was basically what I expected, she was really uncomfortable with the whole idea of the song but felt obligated to cover it. Credit to her for doing it as tastefully as possible. The bit about the baseline echoing "Ruiner" was interesting. I think this was actually the first time I read Trent's interview quote about the song's meaning with full context, or at least the first time in a while, and it was a little clarifying. For some reason I was under the impression that he claimed the song was fully intended as a parody of gangsta rap misogyny. I never bought that explanation because it really undersells the way the song fits into the album's narrative. I thought he was in denial or something because it was too dark. But the full quote acknowledges that side of it too. quote:The record was nearing completion. I had written those lyrics pretty quickly and I didn't know if I was going to use them or not. To me, Downward Spiral builds to a certain degree of madness, then it changes. That would be the last stage of delirium. So the original point of "Big Man With A Gun" was madness. But it was also making fun of the whole misogynistic gangsta-rap bulls**t. ... I listen to a lot of it, and I enjoy it. But I could do without the degree of misogny and hatred of women and abuse. Then, my song got misinterpreted as exactly that. It was probably a lack of being able to write. I've been taken out of context, and it's ridiculous.

The intro to Big Man With a Gun is great. Those drums and whatever effects he's using to accomplish those weird background vocals combined with the bass synth coming in is *chef's kiss*. ...I just looked it up and apparently those vocals are a sample of Tommy Lee having an orgasm in a porno  That song followed by A Warm Place and Eraser is probably my favorite part of TDS though. I always saw BMWAG as a parody song (and really wish there wasn't the "Shoot shoot shoot..." lyrics which have always sounded kinda embarrassing) and liked whatever that sound is that's near-identical to whatever is responsible for the solo in Suck (the end of each note sounds like a guitar but still, what/how?!) and then how the drums start really blasting near the end of the song. I remember reading that Trent was really particular about the percussion on TDS (I could swear I read an interview a very long time ago about him testing different snares in every room of the house to see how the acoustics were, and repeating for every part of a kit) and on songs like Big Man and Eraser it really pays off, imo. Also, another bit of trivia I learned from looking at the Wiki page is that apparently the background screams throughout The Becoming are a sample taken from Robot Jox when a robot falls onto the crowd  Edit: Considering how controversial Big Man With a Gun is, this has me really interested: quote:Flood, known for engineering and producing U2 and Depeche Mode albums, was employed as co-producer on The Downward Spiral. It became his last collaboration with Nine Inch Nails due to creative differences. A "very dangerously self-destructive," humorous short song written for the album, "Just Do It", was not included in the final version and criticized by Flood in that Reznor had "gone too far." I'm guessing by the name, themes and what Flood has said that the song was probably about suicide. Shame it never made it into the reissue of the album but Trent being older probably realized it would be a bad idea. Get a little curious sometimes if there's any particular older material that really makes him cringe. I imagine Starfuckers is definitely on that last, and the flip-flop-flip song from With Teeth. I wonder if Just Do It was perhaps an early version of Eraser? Sounds more like it was part of the finished tracks and pulled from the album however, so maybe not.

The exact origin is the stuff of rumors and all of them sound pretty icky so I'm not going to dig into it all, but I'm pretty sure it's not his voice. Also "Just Do It" was referenced in the liner notes of the 3rd Watchmen soundtrack, among all kinds of other crazy Easter eggs. https://birthmoviesdeath.com/2019/12/13/lets-take-a-look-inside-the-final-watchmen-soundtrack-release

I've always wondered if this is why he made Deviations. I love The Fragile although the lyrics can be a little corny sometimes and knowing how difficult a time that was for him in his life, it's probably hard to listen to. Also, just in case people don't know the flip-flop lyrics are a reference to Pere Ubu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91KBuWqxE7g

I saw it on Wikipedia which can be wrong, but apparently the source that confirms this is the album booklet itself: quote:The sample at the beginning of "Big Man with a Gun" comes from a studio-altered recording of a porn star having an orgasm. According to the album booklet, this "sample" is titled "Steakhouse" and is credited to Tommy Lee.

Reading that I would assume "a porn star" does not refer to Tommy Lee himself. IDK really.

I believe the story was that Tommy brought along a lady that was uh quite the squirter and the distorted sample is her getting off.

That NIN/HEALTH song somehow manages to sound 100% like both a NIN song and a HEALTH song, and it owns. 2000s+ album chat: W_T was sort of eh for me at first, but it grew on me over the years even though I still skip some tracks. I love YZ but about 2 songs needed to be cut out of the middle and put on something else (like maybe a God Given/My Violent Heart EP with another non-album track and some remixes). I love Ghosts and I'd wanted him to put out an instrumental/ambient album for years, so it was awesome when he put out four at once. I really enjoy The Slip (Echoplex is one of my all-time favorite NIN songs, and Discipline & 1,000,000 are both bangers), but I get why some people aren't into it. Fors Yard posted:I've always wondered if this is why he made Deviations. I love The Fragile although the lyrics can be a little corny sometimes and knowing how difficult a time that was for him in his life, it's probably hard to listen to. Also, I listened to The Fragile Instrumentals and Deviations 1 back to back not too long ago, and everything different on Instrumentals is so negligible that you'd have to be extremely pedantic to want to own both. One song intro has a different fade, one track is called something else, one track is later on the album, and that's literally it.
